PoE, PoE+ and UPOE Ports

The ports on the PoE/PoE+ switch provide PoE+ support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE

802.3at and also provide PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and LED Luminaries. The PoE switch ports are
Power Source equipment (PSE) capable and source power to PD devices (Luminaries) connected to the

Product Overview

downlink ports. The switch can source PoE power of up to 30W per port, with a total budget of 240W for the
entire switch.

The UPOE ports provide support for Cisco UPOE and each port can deliver a power of up to 60W, with a
total budget of 480W for the entire switch.

The PoE and UPOE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. Luminaries are connected to PoE and
UPOE switches using CAT5/CAT6 cables and they are controlled through IP.

Gigabit Uplink Ports

The copper gigabit uplink ports support speed up to 1000Mbps.

Console Ports

The console ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.

RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232). The RJ-45 console port connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female

•

cable.

Gigabit Uplink Ports

USB micro-Type B console port (5-pin connector).

•

If you use the USB micro-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on
any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not
require special drivers.

This illustration shows a 5-pin micro-Type B USB port.

Figure 3: USB Micro-Type B Port

With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console
port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.

The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is
active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the
RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive.
Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45
console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a
specified time.

Catalyst Digital Building Series Switch Hardware Installation Guide

USB Type A Port

After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the
USB console interface, see the Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15.2(5)EX (Cisco Catalyst
Digital Building Switches).

USB Type A Port

The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB
keys) and to USB Bluetooth devices.

The port supports USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with port densities
of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported). Cisco IOS software provides standard file system
access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to format the flash device with a
FAT file system.

The port supports USB Bluetooth devices. The USB Bluetooth device acts as a Bluetooth host and serves as
either a serial port or a management port connection. You can pair it with your Bluetooth smart phone, laptop,
or tablet.

Product Overview

SD Flash Memory Card Slot

The switch supports a Secure Digital(SD) flash memory card that makes it possible to replace a failed switch
without reconfiguring the new switch. A cover protects the flash card and holds the card firmly in place. The
cover is hinged and closed with a captive screw. This prevents the card from becoming loose and protects
against shock and vibration.

Up to 2GB of Cisco SD memory card is supported.

LEDs

You can use the switch system and port LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance. The LEDs remain
off by default when switch is powered on. Press the Mode button to turn on the LEDs.

Mode Button

The mode button is used for resetting the switch, entering express setup mode, selecting or changing an LED
mode, and manually waking up the switch from hibernation mode.

In Cisco Catalyst Digital Building series switches, LEDs are normally turned off to save power. When the
mode button is pressed, the LEDs turn on for a set period (60 seconds) before they turn off again to save
power. This can be overridden by a configuration parameter which alters the default 60 second timeout or
disables LED power savings completely. All LEDs are affected by this function except the System LED,
which only dims and does not turn off completely.

Speed Mode Active. Port LEDs indicate port speed as follows:

Downlink: Green = 100 Mbps, Amber = 10 Mbps, Off = No Link

•

Uplink: Green = 1000 Mbps, Amber = 100 Mbps, Off = 10 Mbps or No Link

General Guidelines

When determining where to install the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:

The operating environment is within the ranges listed in Technical Specifications .

•

Clearance to the switch front and rear panel meets these conditions:

•

Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.

◦

Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.

◦

AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch mount.

◦

At least 3" clearance above cooling fins is provided.

◦

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting

•

fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.

Airflow around the switch is unrestricted.

•

For 10/100 and 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports, the cable length from a switch to a connected device cannot

•

exceed 328 feet (100 meters).

Rack Mounting Guidelines

5RU 19" rack mount chassis (CDB-MNT-RACK5-C14) can only be installed in standard 19-inch racks.

•

19" rack mount chassis can be installed with wiring box up or down for cable routing.

•

A gap of 2 RU must be provided between each rack unit for ventilation unless forced air is provided top

•

to bottom in the rack.

The rack mount chassis can have a mix of CDB-8P and CDB-8U units, as long as power cords are

•

plugged into a power source with sufficient ampacity.

Switches will power up on insertion. Remove and re-insert to power cycle when direct wired, or cycle

•

at breaker.

Switches can be hot-swapped.

Flexible Mounting Guidelines

Flexible mounting requires a strut channel for mounting the assembly. Strut channel is a structural system

•

used by electricians, HVAC professionals, plumbers, etc. to mount mechanical and electrical components
in buildings.

Bolts and screws to attach the mount to the strut channel are not supplied in the accessory kit. You need

•

to obtain these from the manufacturer of the strut channel. The bolt used to attach the mount to the strut
channel must match the strut nut.

One flexible mount is required per switch.

•

See Prohibited Mounting Orientations section for unsupported mounting orientations. Following is a

•

list of prohibited mounting orientations. These will cause overheating.

Horizontal stacking

•

Port facing down

•

Ports facing up

•

Wall Mounting - The complete assembly of the flexible mount, mounting brackets and the switch weighs

•

15 lbs for the wall mount case. When mounted directly on a surface, care must be taken to choose
fasteners that can safely hold the switch and mounting hardware, which weighs 15 lbs (6.8 kg), under
all use conditions.

Maintain 3-inch of space to any surface above the flexible mount to allow proper cooling.

•

Only a trained and qualified electrician should be allowed to complete the wiring of the direct-wired

•

junction box (CDB-MNT-FLEX-DIR).

All power connection wiring should conform to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code

•

(NEC), as well as local codes.

Switches will power up on insertion. Remove and re-insert to power cycle when direct wired, or cycle

•

at breaker.

Switches can be hot-swapped.

•

Mounting the Switch

Flexible Mounting

The Catalyst Digital Building Series Switch offers multiple flexible mounting options. Installing the switch
in a flexible mount requires either of the following :

Flexible mount with IEC C14 power junction box (CDB-MNT-FLEX-C14)

•

• Flexible mount with direct-wired junction box (CDB-MNT-FLEX-DIR) — Plenum-rated
